Compassionate

The light from the flare was low so others could not see Kiba's face as he proceeded to check Ruby's shoulders.

Even if they could, they would find his expression as harmless and saintly. Ruby though knew it better than to think he was anything but sagely.

With everything she has witnessed so far, including the deaths of her comrades and the way he killed those trying to capture them, she knew his honest expression meant he was having dishonest thoughts.

For better or worse, Ruby was right in her assessment. His one hand checked over her shoulder while his other hand wandered over her breasts.

His fingers brushed over nipple through her green sweater, sending an electric current in her body.

"Have you found anything?" Alexia enquired.

"I think so," Kiba answered as he took Ruby's nipple between his thumb and index finger.

"What is it?" Alexia hurriedly asked.

"I have to check further to know for sure," Kiba said as his face closed in with Ruby's breasts.
